Since the inception of the Brooklyn Nets organization in 2012, they have been constantly connected to the New York Knicks, the bigger team in the same city. While the Nets have been relatively successful since their move, the Knicks have always been seen as the bigger team in town.

These days, the Knicks are by far the better team between the two. This makes the Nets the smaller act in New York, which does not feel good for the people within the Nets organization, particularly the players. Josh Minott highlighted this after Friday's game between the two teams, which the Knicks won 93-92.

Minott gets honest about the Nets' feelings about being the little brother to the Knicks

Over the years, there have been times when the Nets have done a great job. They were even seen as contenders in the early 2020s when Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving took charge as the team's stars. Unfortunately, that all crumbled for the Nets.

Since then, the Knicks have continued to build on their success. With a superstar like Jalen Brunson, they have become a legitimate contender. While that happened, the Nets have become one of the worst teams in the entire league.

In Friday's game, the Nets almost won as they only lost by one point. Josh Minott was a standout during the game, as he truly wanted to carry the Nets to a victory over their cross-city rivals. Unfortunately, his 22 points were not enough for the Nets to give the victory to Brooklyn.

"I wanted that so bad. I mean, ever since we've been here, it's like every game's an away game, y'know? I just like, tonight was just the night to like really just to stick it to everybody, man. As an organization, as a team, just show people that like we got it here, yo," Minott said about his desire to help the Nets beat the Knicks.

"I don't know, man, just sea of blue, sea of orange, every game we play sea of the other team. I mean, I saw it here when I was on the Celtics. But being here, I got nothing but respect for the real fans, the real Brooklyn fans, like shout out to them."

Unfortunately for the Nets, they have to go through this because they are still rebuilding for the future. They should have a bright future, but they do not have enough talent to keep up with the Knicks. Moving forward, it is up to the front office to build a decent enough team that can keep up.
